Historical profile
Built clandestinely in Zagreb in the summer of 1991 to arm the first units of the Croatian National Guard (ZNG) during the UN embargo.
Borrows the layout of the Yugoslav M56 (itself derived from the German MP40), with a folding wire stock and a long 32-round magazine.
Used mainly in the early phases of the War of Independence and later replaced by captured or imported weapons.
